In Russia, hibiscus is in great demand - tea with the individual sourness of cherry and the color of ruby. Since ancient times, eastern residents enjoyed consuming this gift of nature. Also in some countries of the Middle East, fruit tea was used as a drink for rituals.

The benefits of natural fruit tea

Making tea

To fully enjoy the aroma and taste of fruit tea, you need to follow a number of simple rules.

1. Before preparing tea, the teapot must be rinsed with boiling water. The dishes must be warmed up.
2. Great attention must be paid to water quality. Tap water is not suitable for fruit and berry mixture. Also, in no case should you re-boil water, as its properties are lost, and this, in turn, negates the taste of the mixture.
3. The tea should be poured with slightly cooled water; the temperature should not exceed 80 degrees. If you use water at a higher temperature, there is a risk that some components of the tea mixture will break down and evaporate, making it impossible to enjoy the aroma and taste 100%.
4. The brewing time should be 5-10 minutes and no more.

Fruit tea recipes

Creating your own personal fruit tea recipe is quite simple and anyone can do it. There are several fairly simple compositions that are not difficult to make:

The Downside of Fruit Tea

Many sources provide a wealth of information about positive sides fruit and berry teas. But it is worth paying attention to the fact that they should not be abused. For example, dentists unanimously insist that fruit mixtures are very harmful to oral health, especially for tooth enamel, since fruit tea contains acids and enzymes that have a detrimental effect on teeth.

Selection of fruit tea

Although making fruit tea yourself is not difficult, many lovers of this drink do not want to bother with this task and prefer to purchase a ready-made brewing mixture, thinking that the preparation recipe has a strict standard and universal technology. Perhaps in some cases this is exactly the case, but, as practice shows, not everything is as good as shown in the picture. First of all, you should be wary of those manufacturers who spend a lot on advertising, thereby diverting attention from the main thing - the tea itself.

When purchasing tea, you should carefully study the composition, since in many cases there are much more flavorings than the natural product. It is also worth noting that fruit tea in bags simply physically cannot contain more natural substances than flavorings. From all of the above, it follows that it is always better to purchase tea by weight in specialized stores, since there is less chance of stumbling upon a low-quality product.
